Particulars obtained relating to the
Mingusville shooting scrape are that
on Saturday last one Of Berry d Boice's
cow boys, Black" Smith, II reputed
bad man and general peace disturber,
came into Browns saloon ct Mingus-
vile and demanded $50 of Brown, say
ing that he would kill him IL he did
no. at once give him the money.
Brown had had some trouble with
Smith during the summer, and rs
Smith was evidently drunk he en-
deavored to quiet him and finally sue
ceeded in getting him out Of the sa-
loon. There vas no weapon In the
saloon but a double barreled. shotgun
loaded with fine shot and that was in
such a position at the time 5 uith was
threatening Brown with the revolver
that he could not get 10 IL without
running the risk Of being shot down.
As soon as Smith left his place Brown
secured the gun and was about to
place il within reach should the occa-
sion arise for using 1t, when he saw
Smith again approaching his place
with a revolver in his hand. Brown
stepped to the door and ordered Smith
to go away and not trouble him, but
his warning was unheeded and when
Smith was within ten feet Of him
Brown fred the double charge of shot
at him, but 1t only staggered Smith,
who attempted to shoot. Brown
closed in on him and clubbing him
over the head with the shot gun laid
him out. Brown immediately went
to Glendive and gave himself up. The
Mingusville people consider the kill
ing justifable, as IL was a case OF self
preservation. Brown enjoys a good
reputation among the townspeople,
and as Black Smith was well
known as a bad man 1t is thought he
will be vindicated by the coroner's jury.

the first constitution Of the State was
framed and signed, is being vigorously
prosecuted, and by Dec. Is the historic
building will look exactly as it did dur
ing the great struggle for American in
dependence. The unsightly frame ad-
ditions have been removed, and the
old broad fireplace and quaint kitchen
have been restored with careful detail.
While at work in the cellar of the
building workmen have unearthed an
old iron kettle. This vessel was owned
by the Beekman family before Kings
ton was burned by the British, and is
therefore over a century old. ~The ket-
tie is the INT referred to by Mrs. Mary
Westbrook Van Deusen, of this city,
and a sister of the late Judge West
brook, in her story Of the Revolution.
Mush was being made in the kettle, to
be partaken Of by the guests of a birth
day party given in honor Of the hero
inc of the story in question, when the
British came, and the kettle with other
things was ~hurriedly put out of sight,
to see the light for the first time to-
day at the end of a hundred years Of
freedom and progress. State Archi-
tect Perry has arrived to take posses
sion of the building in behalf of the
State. The price to be paid Marius

Til. Practice Of vaccsnation.

EZwT F-E
Vaccination is now occupying a
great part Of the time Of physicians
who have charge of families. One Of
the reasons why vaccination is SO gem
eral here is that children who have not
been v~accinated are not received into
the public schools, and another reason
is that the insurance companies now
make successful vaccination an indis-
pensable requirement in examining APP
plicants for insurance. / am often
asked by parents when their children
are old enough to be vaccinated and /
always advise them not to have it done
until the child is at least a year old. It
done before the age the operation is
likely to result in serious disturbance
of the child's health on account Of the
very delicate organism Of the infant.
As we'll recognized q prevention Of dis
sease as vaccination has become, there
are still many people who bitterly OPP
pose it, and / know a number Of these
personally who are in other respects
very sensible. One Of them Is q news
paper editor Of this city, who firmly
believes he had scrofula vaccinated
into him when he was a child. In
Europe the. opponents vaccination have
gone so far as to form characterization
societies, with the end OF discouraging
the practice; but prejudice has not yet
got SO far as that in the United states.

Much hos been written and said about
how to make home happy. The moralist
and the preacher have hackneyed this
theme until it would seem nothing more
remained to be said. But the philoso'
pliers have gone far out OF their way to ac-
count for the prevalence OF il.assorted
couples and unhappy homes. and have
overlooked the chief cause. Most OF the
unhappiness OF married life can be traced
directly to those functional arrangements
to which women are subject. In nine
cases out OF ten the irritable, dissatisfied
and unhappy wife is q sufferer from some
female complaint" A trial OF DR.. Pierce's
